Overnight Briefing & General Reality Check - Feb 21, 2014

February 21, 2014

Damage Control:

BRUCE JENNER may have fabulous highlights, a toned-down Adam's apple and to-die-for manicure, but a longtime pal swears he's not becoming a woman! One "close family friend" tells People magazine the reality star "never expressed interest" in changing his sex, but is merely concerned about his looks, wants to stay youthful and is "having an identity crisis."
The former Olympian has made headlines around the world for his increasingly feminine appearance since calling it quits with KRIS JENNER. (Lee)

Chic Sh*t:

SPANX just launched a new product they are billing as a "bra for your butt." SheFinds.com says the formal name for the new shapewear product is the "Trust Your Thinstincts Booty Bra." It retails for just under $60 bucks --but for that you get an undergarment that "lifts and separates your butt cheeks to keep your bottom looking perky in jeans and dresses." It's also made with a self-adjusting fabric that promises not to overly-smoosh your humps, your humps, your lovely lady lumps. (Bartha)

In the Dumper:

A fugitive in Denver, Colorado, was finally captured after sliding 17 stories down a trash chute.DONNIE GRIFFIN was wanted on a bank fraud warrant from Texas. Authorities tracked him to the 20th floor of the Glass House luxury apartment building in Denver, where he was living. Cops say they found several fake law enforcement badges in Griffin's apartment. When they tried to arrest him, he jumped down a trash chute. Witnesses say he's lucky he didn't end up in the giant trash compactor on the first floor, which is where the chute empties out. A police spokesman says, "You have to think that he's extremely desperate." (Still)

Grace notes:

CHRISTINA AGUILERA is pregnant with baby number two. On Valentine's Day, she announced her engagement to production assistant Matt Rutler, and now TMZ says he's the daddy. They met during the production of Christina's movie, "Burlesque" in 2010. She already has a son, MAX, with ex-husband JORDAN BRATMAN. Max was born in 2008.
No word on how Christina's pregnancy might affect her future as a judge on "The Voice," although she's currently taking a break for Season Six, which premieres Monday on NBC. (Marino)

Olympic update:

An angry Russian hockey fan depicted on a vine video wants to send Russia's hockey team to Siberia "so they can mine for gold with their bare hands."
Russia lost to Finland in quarterfinal action earlier this week, knocking them out of medal contention.Editor's note: Well, at least the ice would be better. (Maiman)

Twins have babies at the same time:

We have more proof that the bond between twins defies the laws of nature. TheStir.com reports 35-year-old HEATHER RICHARDSON underwent a caesarian section to deliver EMELIE FRANCES last Friday at 1:30 --the exact time her twin sister SARAH FIDLER went into labor with little AUSTIN GIBBS! The baby boy entered the world 13-and-a-half-hours later at a separate hospital, but the sisters and their offspring were eventually moved to the same spot. As luck would have it, the new mamas also discovered they were pregnant on the same day. (Lee)
